To the Teachers of Vermont.

50 The following appears in the New
England Journal Of Education for
Feb. II: "In one of the great West
ern cities there is feeble woman, Is
years of age, who has been a teacher
from her youth, resigning her last po-
sition at 20. With the exception OF
few years, when failing health
obliged her to seek a Southern eli
mate, she taught in the public schools
of Vermont. Many family demands
upon her strength and slender income
have been repeatedly made. She is
now the last of her generation, and
without any of her own kindred to
whom she can turn for help and re-
ceive it. Two years ago, at the in
stance of a relative. who is now I'M
able to do any thing for her, she went
to the West. There she has spent
the last penny of her small savings,
and is now living alone among stran-
gers. She is making desperate strug-
gle with pen and knitting needles to
maintain herself, but she is absolutely
unable to pay her rent and supply
herself with fuel and food. She has
been without coal with the thermome-
ter below zero. The writer of this,
who is herself teacher, and who can
vouch for these facts, heard of her
extremity, and has obtained some aid
for her. Are there not teachers who
read this journal who will gladly give
something to their aged sister in the
profession, whose needs are so great"
And in the editorial columns of the
same paper is this comment: GA De-
serving Case.-We print in the Notes
and Queries, under the above heading
piteous appeal for a worthy, home
less teacher. Theoretically, it might
happen to any one of thousands Of
teachers, but we have never heard of
a definite case before. We gladly
send a contribution from our Office
and will promptly acknowledge and
forward any amounts that may be
sent US for that purpose. Tell of this
case wherever and whenever you can,
that it may help to make public opin-
ion in favor Of some provision for
worthy teachers, worn out in the SER
vice OF education"
Ought not the teachers of Vermont
to consider it their especial duty to
promptly to this call for help
for Vermont teacher? Can we not
raise five hundred dollars Immediate
Iy? If Vermont teachers will send |
to the Principal of the
High School, Woodstock, VT, he will
gladly forward the same, and will an
nounce the contributions from each |
town when the sum asked for is re-
ceived. Woodstock Standard.

Europe's Earthuuake,


LONDON, Feb. 24.-Two quite shar
shocks of earthquake have been felt a
i Corsica. A number of persons were
wounded. An inmate of the convent
of the Holy Sacrament at Nice dice
from fright. The shocks affected s
wide eccentric area. The first shock
occurred at $50 o'clock and the last
at 10 o'clock p. m. People every
where spent the night in the open air.
Details have been received this morn
ing of the results of the earthquake
yesterday, showing that the effects
are far more serious than was thought.
The loss of life and destruction OF
property was terrible. The most
startling news comes from the Gen
oese Riviersa, over 1900 persons being
killed in that district.
A Nice correspondent says all the
houses swayed to and fro like cradles,
and from the chimney tops to the
foundations the walls cracked. Wom-
en-, shrieking like maniacs, appeared
at the windows in their night-dresses.
The sky seemed to be all in flames.
1t glared with blood red color. Two
more shocks succeeded each other at
brief intervals, and the entire popula-
ton rushed frantically into the streets
in their night clothes. Men, women
and children jostled against one an
other. Fashionable beauties were
cheek by jowl with beggars and SER
wants. Each was fully confident that
the last hour had come. The first
house to fall was No. Z, Rue Pagan
inni. The roof crushed in lust as the
Countess Rlna Barda, who occupied
an apartment in the fifth story, was
in the act of jumping out of the
window. The countess had her right
thigh fractured and her head was split
open. She now lies in the hospital
between life and death. Nine. Chey-
Ian, who lived in the same apartment,
was killed outright. The villa Natha,
in the Rue st. Etienne, crumbled to
atoms, but five ladies and men who
occupied it escaped miraculously by
jumping out of the windows. and they
only incurred slight injuries.
On the heights around Cimiez 1000
American, English and Russians are
encamped, the military authorities
having placed tents at their disposal.
A battalion of infantry patrol the
streets and sentinels pace up and
down in front of the villas and shops.
All the cabs and omnibuses are turned
into habitations, and command fabu-
lous prices. A cab for the night costs
500 francs. The railway station is
literally besieged. Everybody is try
ng to get away. Six thousand pas
'engers left to-day for Paris and 5000
or Italy. At Mentone nearly all the
houses will have to be rebuilt. The
Villas Cipoline and Molinary in falling
killed three workmen and wounded
several others. At Cannes the shock
vas very slight, shaking the houses
md frightening the people, but did no
harm there. At Cuneo eight persons
we're killed and twenty-eight were
wounded. At Port Maurice eight were
and one was killed, but
here are no Americans among the
lead or wounded. The total num-
Ter of deaths reported up to the pres
mt time are about 2000.

THE FBIEND OF THE WORKINGMAN.-
Henry George cuts a queer figure at a
temperance meeting. He observed at
one in Brooklyn, the other evening, that
all restrictive laws on the liquor ques-
ton ought to be abolished; the saloon,
he declared, supplied social need and
could not be spared under existing social
conditions. He did not say, but it is
doubtless the fact, that without the
saloons Henry geOrgeism and all that
gality and other common sense virtues
are fatal to crankery. He knows the
- social need " of the saloon. He is the
friend of the workingman.-SprinGield
